Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Agriculture: Discussion
Dr. Gary Lanigan:
UCD carried out some research into this. We are deploying our flux towers over farms that are on both blanket bog and raised bog. Our guesstimate is that the farmland on the raised bogs is emitting close to the tier 1 emission factor, which is between 20 and 22 tonnes of CO2 per hectare per year, but the blanket bog is probably much lower.
